"You Can Make History (Young Again)"

   So when I first tried editing a long time ago, this Elton John tune was one of the songs that served as a guinea pig for my efforts.  Thing is it took me this 

long to realize that my edit and the video edit (which I presume was also the radio edit) were not the same.  Problem is I'm now not exactly sure where I 

should've put the edit.  It's somewhere in the second chorus, but where exactly I do not know.  I do know the edit runs (3:52), and my file that does run that 

length, but it's wrong.

Anyone know where the proper place to make the edit is, or have the edit?

	Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken.

	I have the edit on the promo CD somewhere, Doug. I'll see if I can find it tonight. Edited by Brian W.

	Thanks to Chuck for sending me the file. Have to give credit to the mixer of the single--I still cannot tell where exactly the edit was made, which means he did a seamless job. I've narrowed it down to one of two lines in the chorus, but I can't figure it out exactly.

	The LP version runs 4:57, while the edit runs about a minute shorter. The bridge is cut out, rendering the song useless IMO. The edit occurs after the word "of things" in the second chorus, it then switches to the third and final chorus. Basically start your edit point at abut 3:02 and end it at about 4:09. Honestly, the song would worked much better had they just made an early fade, ending it at about 4:30.
